Ahart . the implied censure cast upon all lite brave men now fighting for their country in Mexico—apart from the ignominy to which the heroes who have spilled their blood, and laid their bones_ -there, are consigned by it,-we condemn, most Unequivocally, that kind of pality which Rill sanction a wrong for the accomplishment of . write such sentiments, either in politics, in moral ityorin-religion. The party Who acts upon such . sentireentsis not to be trusted, and will not be trust, ed.; Au act which is wrong in ittry, cannot, by process of reasoning, be made right; nor can it, by way stroke of policy', be made proper to be performed.

We will seem to admit that they, are right:—for, by so doing, we may hereaf ter exert =influence over them, which will enable us to effect our own objects. The character of such ,articles as that from which we hdve quoted, cannot be too loudly condemned, by any man pro• leasing to have a : single sentiment of moral honesty.

Petition presented, and viewers appointed, De- Cember 311, 1846—December 29, 1846. - _Report of vieWers filed at the time came up for approval. Objected to by the solicttor for the county. _After: hearing an able argument by Messrs. Biddle and Woode'for the petitioner,'and Forward and Todd for the county, the court decli ned approving the report, and recommitted the subject to the vieivers, with instructions to proceed under the provisions of the act of I.sth March, 1847. There'are about 100 petitions of the same char acter pending, all of which come ander the same The act under which the proceedings originated wai Passed in '36, and provided tor the assessment of 'damages in the same manner as is provided for by the acts then in force relating to the opening of, public roads, &c., which would render the county very probitbly, liable in these cases for the dama ges. The act of 1847, which we published in yesterday'i paper, provides that the propertyhold era who have been Lenefited by the opening of the streets, shall pay the amounts assessed by viewers to be appointed, which shall go to the liquidation of the damages of other property holders, who she have been injured, and repeals so much of the act of '36 as conflicts with it. The proceedings commenced under the act of '36 not having been perfected, were held by the court to be affected by the late act. The act un der which the decision was made does not take away, the right vested in the property holders by the constitution, of obtaining indemnification for injury, but alters the mode of recovery. The decision in this case is one of great im• portance, especially to the inhabitants of the new wards, and of those districts which may yet apply for admission into the city. Interesting Letter from Vera Crux. Mr. RICIIAIIII DilyltSET, of this city, has po litely furnished us with the following letter from 4 brother in the Army: Yank. Cars, Mexico, • `'April sth, 1347. S Dear Arother:—l received your letter dated March 10, on the let inst., and was happy to hear I that all of you were in good health. When I wrote to you last, you will remember we were on our ' march to the Brazos St. Jago ; expecting to embark for AlVarado or Vera Crnz; it proved to be the latter. The varioul movements and alternate manoeuvres in fitting out this expedition, against what is generally called a second Gibraltar, pre sented to me a continued scene of novelty and in terest I never before witnessed. It may well be said the United States never before appeared so majestic as she did in this, her armament, on the Gulf. It is impossible for me to give a correct, account of the number of sail or steam vessels, but yds may judge what it _woulikrequire_foe i twenty thousand men independdnt of the ord nance and store ships. We anchored for four or five days about fifteen mites from the Blockading Squadron, off the Castle San Juan D'Ulloa. Inl She meantime, Gen. Scott and all the heed officers of Departments, reconnoitered the coast for a suit able poiition to land the forces; the selectiou oft ' which, the result reflects great-credit on the corn- 1 mending General, who, as soon as his plan was decided upon, hoisted his signal, so anxiously looked for on every vessel, to weigh anchor.-1 Theri came the most beautiful scenes I ever be held; signals flying to and fro in this great fleet; so promptly obeyed. In two hours from the first signal, we were anchored within five miles of the Castle--the place selected the day previous. Pre- 1 parations were immediately made for landing by running off a few gun boats dose in to shore, who played into the sand hills with round shot; in thel meantime about 300 barges, containing 3,000 men at each trip, pulled off from the shipping.— The .sth Infantry were the first to step on shore;. we being the Bth. Then came such shouts, re echoing:in the air, and taken'up by the Navy, it was enough to strike terror into the garrison of Vera Cruz; while on the other hand there was no bounds to the enthasdasm of our troops. But I must end here. I could fill sheets with incidents and ocurrences during the bombardment, but you will learn all through the official accounts. -We have not lost thirty men, wounded or killed; the Mexicuns suffered rituch,they kept pouring their shot and shell into us 4 days dhd nights, before': we were ready to open our batteries on them.— During the time we were building and preparing our works we were exposed to the fire of fr batte ries; our works we constructed at a :distance va rying from a half to three quarters of a mile from the malls of the city. We march immediately for Jalapa, sod Alexi cans must look out; for Gen. Scott is in earnest, and his directions so promptly complied with in, every department, that all goes an like clock work. I refer you to official accounts' which will no doubt be published by the time you get this., Your affectionate brother, ' T. D. Battle near Home. The village of Georgetown, in Mercer county, has been the scene of a most disgraceful occur rence.
